Synthesis of 3-epistrophanthidin and 3-epistrophanthidol

Conclusions 3-Epistrophanthidin and 3-epistrophanthidol have been synthesized from strophanthidin and strophanthidol with yields of 10 and 40%, respectively. The substances synthesized proved to be identical with the new natural aglycones isolated from the seeds ofStrophanthus kombe Oliv.Khimiya Prirodnykh Soedinenii, Vol. 6, No. 1, pp. 57–60, 1970.     

Die Kristallstruktur von Li2SnO3

Li₂SnO₃ crystallises monoclinic, C, with a = 5.295, b = 9.184, c = 10.032 Å and β = 100.13°; Z = 8. The positions of Sn were obtained from PATTERSON maps and the positions of O and Li by FOURIER difference method. Parameters were refined by least squares-method [1462 reflexes (h 01)–(h 71); R = 10.5%]. The average distances of Li? O are 2.07 Å, and 2.20 Å for Sn? O. The Li₂SnO₃ structure can be derived from the NaCl type: in a cubic closest packing of oxygen 2/3 of the octahedral holes are occupied by lithium and 1/3 by tin.     

5,6-Dimethoxy- und [4,5,6-Trimethoxy-benzo[b]-thienyl-(3)]-acylamine

Zusammenfassung Umsetzung von 5,6-Dimethoxy- und [4,5,6-Trimethoxy-benzo[b]thienyl-(3)]-essigsäure mit PCl₅ lieferte die methoxysubstituierten [Benzo[b]thienyl-(3)]-essigsäurechloride, die mit sekundären Aminen zu den entsprechenden Amiden reagierten.Die homologen Verbindungen mit einer C₃-Brücke wurden durchArndt-Eistert-Reaktion des Diazomethylketons in Gegenwart der entsprechenden sekundären Amine erhalten.

Reaction of 5.6-dimethoxy- and [4.5.6-trimethoxybenzo[b]-thienyl-(3)]-acetic acid with PCl₅ gave the methoxy-substituted [benzo[b]thienyl-(3)]-acetic acid chlorides, which reacted with secondary amines to the corresponding amides.The homologous compounds with a C₃-bridge were synthesized viaArndt-Eistert reaction of the diazomethyl ketone in presence of the corresponding secondary amines.

Stationary phase properties of the organic molten salt ethylpyridinium bromide in gas chromatography

Summary The organic molten salt, 1-ethylpyridinium bromide, is suitable for use as a stationary phase in gas chromatography. It has a usable liquid temperature range of 110 to 160°C. It undergoes a single phase transition at 110°C which corresponds to the bulk melting point. Below the melting point the phase may be used as a selective adsorbent, although column efficiency and peak symmetry deteriorate as the temperature is lowered from the melting point. Above the melting point, ethylpyridinium bromide can be used to separate a wide variety of organic compounds retaining strongly those compounds possessing large dipole or hydrogen bonding functional groups.     

Application of Carbowax 20M as an open-tubular liquid phase in analyses of nutritionally important fats and oils.

In the first part, the reasons for the choice of Carbowax 20M-terephthalic acid as a liquid phase are indicated and the technique for preparation of columns is descirbed. The ECL of 14 to 24 carbon fatty acids (branched and positional isomers of unsaturated acids) as well as the accuracy of determination of some fatty acids, are presented. In the second part, examples of chromatograms are given as well as tables concerning the composition of various fats: vegetable oils, depot fats, and fats from organs of monogastric species, polygastric species, and fish.
